“Truly fabulous”

The restaurant serves really delicious food, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Lovely canapes with our drinks beforehand beside the log fire. Very nice atmosphere in the dining room.

The bedrooms in the annexe where we stayed were spacious and very stylishly decorated. The owners obviously have an eye for detail where guests' need are concerned, from the towelling slippers, bottled water, variety of beverages & biscuits, as well as a bowl of fresh fruit.

We hope to return before too long as we only managed to stay one night but would wholeheartedly recommend the Castle Cottage

Room Tip: The rooms in the annexe, which is alongside the restaurant buildings, are very spacious. Tall peopl...

Hi LeonoraWirral
What a wonderful review, we are truly glad that you enjoyed the food, wines and atmosphere, hope you can stay for more than one night next time (try room 3, it occupies the entire top floor of the main building with no low-ish beams - only high ones!!!) The annex at Castle Cottage is Grade II listed and the beam in room 7 is over 500 years old!!!!!!!

“Great little place”

This was a spur of the moment trip, during a visit to UK. It could not have been better! A warm welcome, comfortable room, large and luxurious bathroom, delicious dinner and scrumptious breakfast. What more could you ask for?

Room Tip: Try to get a room with a view of the castle and sea.

“Fabulous Food & Accomodation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

We stayed at Castle Cottage in Harlech on January 3rd 2012. We were warmly welcomed by the owners, Glyn & Jacqui and they showed us to our beautiful room above the restaurant. We stayed in Room 3 called ‘Caernarvon’. Each room is named after a Welsh Castle. Our room was fantastically comfortable and had great facilities including a huge bathroom with a massive bath and separate shower. The bedroom was separate from a small lounge with a television. You could tell the owners had put a lot of thought in meeting their guests every need. There were plenty of plug sockets and a good mirror and light on the dressing table. We also had tea and coffee facilities, bottled water and a basket of fresh fruit! It was great to lie in bed & see Harlech Castle and the sea in the distance. The main reason we wanted to stay here was because we had heard so many recommendations for Glyn’s excellent cooking. We were not disappointed. Later, we went down to dinner we were given some lovely canapés whilst we had a pre –dinner drinks and looked at the menu. It was really hard to choose as we liked the sound of everything! In the end my husband chose, Scallops with Black pudding & bacon & I had crispy Welsh lamb pancakes with hoisin sauce as starters. For main course my husband had Seafood Thermidor and I had suckling pig. The puddings were equally delicious and we also thoroughly enjoyed the Chef’s appetizer of Chicken Consommé and freshly cooked bread. Glyn’s wife Jacqui took great care of us and it was an amazing meal. The next morning we had a beautifully cooked Welsh breakfast with a table full of fresh fruits, muesli etc. to choose from. I can highly recommend Castle Cottage as a perfect base to stay if you are planning on touring North Wales or if you just want to spoil yourself.

“Excellent food”

We stay in Harlech alot as we have a holiday home at Min Y Don Holiday Park and have eaten at many places. We had heard that the Castle Cottage is the best restaurant in the town and we weren't disapointed. The extra surprise course of a delicious pea & ham soup was a bonus. The staff were welcoming and we even discussed bringing our well-behaved children which they can cater for. It's just off the main street so we can see why we overlooked it in the past. Definately will go again and we strongly recommend it . Thanks for a lovely evening
